Quick Summary: A contempt petition against Mr. Anandhan, the Tahsildar of Walaja Taluk, was filed by M. Venugopal for not following a court order. The case, overseen by Judge Dr. R.N. Manjula, ended with the petition being closed after it was confirmed that the order was followed.
M. Venugopal filed a contempt petition against Mr. Anandhan, the Tahsildar of Walaja Taluk, Ranipet District. The problem? Mr. Anandhan supposedly didn’t follow a court order from September 5, 2024, in an earlier case (W.P. No. 11277 of 2023).
"This Contempt Petition has been filed under Section 11 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971."
The case was heard by Judge Dr. R.N. Manjula on September 17, 2025. M. Venugopal was represented by Mr. R. Sunilkumar, while Mr. Anandhan had Mr. V. Manoharan as the government's lawyer.
During the proceedings, M. Venugopal’s lawyer said that the order had finally been followed. This means that the necessary actions were taken, and a formal document was issued to confirm this.
"It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the order has been complied and a proceedings to that effect has also been issued."
With the compliance confirmed, Judge Dr. R.N. Manjula decided to close the contempt petition. The judge noted that if M. Venugopal still had issues, he could challenge the compliance separately.
"Recording the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Contempt Petition is closed. No costs."
For now, the case is closed. However, if M. Venugopal believes there’s more to address, he has the option to take further legal action. This case shows how important it is for officials to follow court orders quickly to avoid legal issues.
